Probably the two
most iconic things on Kangaroo Island are Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks,
which are on the furthest south-west side of the island in Flinders Chase
National Park.
Admirals Arch itself
was a bit underwhelming, but the location was incredible. The day was extremely windy and a bit stormy,
so consequently we saw the biggest waves I have ever seen. It was really interesting because the waves
were coming in at least 3 directions, so they were colliding in the middle of
the ocean creating massive sprays. We
also had a nice surprise to find that the entire coast around Admirals Arch was
inhabited by New Zealand fur seals! We
definitely enjoyed watching the waves and the seals, and even the seals surfing
and diving in the waves! Time for my
favourite game: how many seals can you find in this picture?

Surprise! They're not rocks after all!

The "arch" we came to see.
Unfortunately my cute seal video doesn't want to upload. Sorry!
Next we went just
down the road to see Remarkable Rocks.
They were quite impressive and we had lots of fun sneaking in and out of
all of the nooks and crannies. Again,
ask Ryan if you care about the geology.
New game - let's play "find Ryan in the rocks"! (Hint, he's not in all of the pictures.)
